Background And Purpose: In proton therapy, a relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 is used toreach an isoeffective biological response between photon and proton doses. However, the RBE varies with biological endpoints and linear energy transfer (LET), two key parameters in radiotherapy.

- * The SPARK trial was a phase II study involving 48 patients that utilized KIM technology to monitor real-time tumor movements and evaluate the accuracy of cancer targeting during radiotherapy.
- * The publicly available dataset includes a variety of imaging and treatment data, stored at the University of Sydney eScholarship Repository, which can be used for further research and analysis in the field of radiotherapy.
This study presents a novel approach to skin toxicity assessment in preclinical radiotherapy trials through an advanced imaging setup and deep learning. Skin reactions, commonly associated with undesirable side effects in radiotherapy, were meticulously evaluated in 160 mice across four studies. A comprehensive dataset containing 7542 images was derived from proton/electron trials with matched manual scoring of the acute toxicity on the right hind leg, which was the target area irradiated in the trials.

The purpose of this review is to (1) provide a brief overview of functional imaging for PPGL, (2) summarize selected present and older guideline and review recommendations, and (3) conduct a literature review on the diagnostic performance of the most used PET tracers for PPGL.
Evidence Acquisition: We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed from January 2004 to August 2024 with the search string ("Pheochromocytoma" OR "Paraganglioma") AND ("Positron Emission Tomography" OR "Radionuclide Imaging" OR ("PET" AND ("FDG" OR "DOTATOC" OR "DOTANOC" OR "DOTATATE" OR "DOPA" OR "FDOPA"))).
